A computer 12 of an image processing apparatus 11 acquires a moving image including a minor axis cross section of a carotid artery and a cross section of surrounding tissues around the carotid artery and estimates, from images of two temporally different frames of the acquired moving image, an optical flow of each point included in an area corresponding to a carotid artery wall and an optical flow of each point included in an area corresponding to the surrounding tissues. Based on the estimated optical flow of each point, the computer 12 calculates an amount of displacement of the carotid artery and the surrounding tissues with respect to a radial direction of the carotid artery depending on a change in internal pressure of the carotid artery. The computer 12 also calculates an amount of displacement of the carotid artery and the surrounding tissues with respect to the radial direction of the carotid artery depending on a change in the internal pressure of the carotid artery based on a theoretical expression obtained by modeling the carotid artery and the surrounding tissues with a two-layer cylinder. The computer 12 calculates the elastic modulus of the carotid artery wall and the elastic modulus of the surrounding tissues so as to minimize a square error between the two calculated amounts of displacement. |

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce error propagation generated in a bit shift phenomenon by performing the confirmation processing of a short burst error detection signal. <P>SOLUTION: A method of signal reproduction for a recording medium adds the error correction sign of a P symbol in the column direction to the information block of an (M×N) data symbol to constitute the error correction information block of an (M×(N+P)) symbol; where, each row is composed of a K frame; each frame is L-divided; a burst error detection symbol is inserted in each divided location; and a synchronizing signal is added to the leading of each frame. The error correction processing of the data symbol is performed by: detecting a distance between the synchronizing signals; changing a symbol divided point for re-demodulation to generate the data symbol when the distance between the synchronizing signals is deviated from a specified distance. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO |

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To more accurately detect a motion vector by absorbing an error of the motion vector which theoretically occurs due to a difference in a sampling point.
SOLUTION: A motion vector detecting part 101 calculates an average value of difference values among adjacent pixels in a target image block, and corrects an SAD (Sum of Absolute Differences) or a DFD (Displaced Field Difference) so as to be small when the average value is large. Then, predetermined added weighting is further added to the corrected SAD or DFD for a block within a search range having the same motion vector as a motion vector of a frame before the frame of the target image block or for a block within the search range having the same motion vector as that of an image block adjacent to the target image block. Then, by using the SAD or DFD after the addition of the added weighting, a motion vector that is given from a block whose value becomes minimum is detected.

PURPOSE: To make effective use of the capability of an error-correcting code by counting the time interval between the detectings of a synchronized part of data and the succeeding synchronized part, and identifying the position of an error in case the value of the said counting is not of a prescribed value.
CONSTITUTION: A signal (c) is outputted by a counter 7 at every interval between the synchronizing parts 2, inverted by an inverter 16, and turns to be a signal (d), which is inputted to a gate 17 along with a synchronizing signal detecting signal (b). The output (e) of the gate 17 comes to low at the time when a synchronizing part is detected at a position other than the prescribed positions of the parts 2. A register 11 stores the content of a register 10 and a frame number that is the output of a counter 9 at the time when the signal (e) turns to be '0'. Accordingly, the register 11 outputs a frame number (i) corresponding to the synchronized part 2 detected immediately preceding an error A in which a bit slip occurs by its output (x), and outputs one (i+2) corresponding to the part 2 detected for the first time after the said bit slip by its output (y). When receiving the outputs (x) and (y), a lost flag generating part 12 generates a lost flag in a data in a frame that includes the bit slip.

In an apparatus for performing motion estimation (ME) on a block of N.times.M pixels in a current frame based on a predetermined reference frame (RF), a block divider divides the block into subblocks (SB's) of K.times.L pixels and then classifies the SB's into A-group SB's and B-group SB's in accordance with the rule that all of the SB's in a same group be diagonally adjacent to each other. A first and a second decision circuits decide pixels satisfying a first and a second predetermined conditions among the pixels in the ASB's as A-group representative pixels (ARP's) and in the BSB's as B-group representative pixels (BRP's), respectively, wherein the first predetermined condition is different from the second predetermined condition. A sample block generator combines the ARP's with the BRP's to generate a sample block. And then, RF subsampling circuit generates a sample RF (SRF) by subsampling the predetermined RF in accordance with the same subsampling method described above. A best matching candidate block (CB) detector, based on the sample block and the SRF, detects a CB having a smallest error value to the sample block among CB's within the SRF as a best matching CB (BMCB) by using a predetermined block matching method. And a motion vector (MV) generator generates a MV representing a displacement between the sample block and the BMCB. |

PURPOSE: To prevent an error in thickness measurement from being generated even when a high-temperature body is measured by moving bars for compensation which is made of a body with a small coefficient of thermal expansion or high heat conductivity in the width direction of the body to be measured and measuring its variation by a sensor for compensation.
CONSTITUTION: If a temperature gradient is generated between the surfaces A and B of frames 6a and 6b like the measurement of a high temperature body to be measured, the surfaces A and B of the frames 6a and 6b differ in the extent of elongation and the frames 6a and 6b deflect. Displacement sensors 2a and 2b and processing parts 3a and 3b are affected by the deflection to vary in thickness output. The bars 10a and 10b for compensation are small in coefficient of thermal expansion and each fixed to a base 8 at only one end, so their elongation is small and a little deflection is caused. The outputs of the displacement sensors 11a and 11b for compensation show the measured deflection of the frames 6a and 6b. The processing parts 12a and 12b convert their deflection quantities into errors and a compensation processing part 17 compensates the thickness output of the processing part 3b to evade the generation of the thickness measure due to the temperature gradient.
